After nearly six hours of meditation, even Gu Anlei sobered up and, having nothing else to do, squatted down next to Jiang Yuan to watch him cultivate.
"This is the rule of the Five Elements!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, while Gu Anlei stared at him curiously, because she saw colorful fireworks the moment Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, which were quite beautiful.
"Have I been accepted as a beginner?"
Jiang Yuan looked at the five tiny threads of rules wrapped around the Soul of Mending Heaven. His hundredfold talent played a huge role in comprehending the intent. While others took a month to get started, he only needed half a day.
As he comprehended the rules, he gradually learned about their specific levels. To comprehend the rules, one must master the corresponding attribute conception. For example, to comprehend the fire attribute rule, one must first understand what fire is and what it contains. In fact, those who reach the limit not only master the attribute conception but also choose to condense a seed of conception.
The realm of artistic conception corresponds to the realm of spirit, which is divided into three levels: initial understanding, mastery, and returning to simplicity; while the realm of rules corresponds to the realm of divinity, which is divided into nine levels.
After six hours of hard work, Jiang Yuan reached the initial stage of understanding the basics. However, even this initial stage requires time and practice; it's impossible for him to surpass it in a short period.
"Jiang Yuan, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Gu Anlei asked, sitting to the side with her head drooping.
Jiang Yuan put away the Soul of Mending the Heavens. He glanced at Gu Anlei and said irritably, "Who told you to just drink and not eat!"
Hearing this, Gu Anlei pouted and said aggrievedly, "I thought drinking more would create a better atmosphere for the meal, but I ended up getting drunk!"
"Alright, let's order takeout and have Shi Xiang Ge deliver their signature dish!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand and placed down over a hundred top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals. A set of Shi Xiang Cuisine only costs a few hundred thousand low-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, which is enough money.
"I'm not going to Shixiang Pavilion!"
Gu Anlei tugged at Jiang Yuan's sleeve and shook it, then said seriously, "You need to plan your life carefully, spend only what you earn, and never let excessive indulgence ruin your life!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
“This meal is worth a month’s worth of cultivation supplies for a True Spirit Realm cultivator. It’s not worth spending money on a single meal!” Gu Anlei kept shaking her head.
"Then tell me, what do you want to eat?" Jiang Yuan was also helpless. This girl must think he's a freeloader. He never expected that he, the heir to the Grim Reaper, would be misunderstood by a little girl.
“It’s almost evening, and if we go out to eat by ourselves, we’ll definitely eat a lot, and we might even have to make up for the food we ate at breakfast and lunch! So, we have to be careful with our dinner!” Gu Anlei analyzed logically, as if she was planning to eat three meals’ worth of steamed buns.
Jiang Yuansheng said dejectedly, "So, it's best not to eat! That way, we earn more money for each meal we skip!"
"Who said we're not going to eat? We're not only going to eat, we're going to eat well!" Gu Anlei smiled smugly. She unfolded a promotional poster and pointed to it, saying, "There's a freshman party today, a big event organized by the upperclassmen to welcome the new students. I heard the sponsor is the Three Emperors Alliance, and there's tons of food!"
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this just eating for free?"
"Who said we're freeloading? We're just showing our support, you know? Besides, the freshman welcome party is for us freshmen. If I don't go and you don't go, then nobody will go to the freshman welcome party. What kind of freshman welcome party is that?" Gu Anlei said seriously.
"Then this Three Emperors Alliance?" A thought popped into Jiang Yuan's mind: Could this Three Emperors Alliance be...?
"This is a powerful organization that has only recently come into the public eye. I heard that the Three Sovereigns Alliance is composed entirely of the oldest families in China, with the Human Sovereign, Earth Sovereign, and Heaven Sovereign being the most revered, and together they are called the Three Sovereigns Alliance!" Gu Anlei spoke of the Three Sovereigns Alliance with a profound respect. Chinese people, you may not worship gods or religions, but you absolutely cannot fail to worship your ancestors.
All the great emperors have left a significant mark on Chinese history, so it is perfectly normal for Gu Anlei to admire the Three Emperors Alliance.
"Damn, it really is!"
Jiang Yuan was shocked. Wasn't this his enemy coming after him?
"Jiang Yuan, let's go. It would be impolite for us freshmen not to go!" Gu Anlei had already started changing her clothes and putting on her shoes.
"This..." Jiang Yuan was a little scared, because he was now carrying the fortune of the Nine Provinces, and it was not the outdated fortune of the past.
"Hurry up, I'm starving!"
Gu Anlei turned around and looked at him pitifully, her stomach growling occasionally, which was particularly fitting for the occasion.
"As long as I control the fortune of the Nine Provinces, even if someone from the Divine Emperor Family stands in front of me, no one should be able to recognize me!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
After thinking it over, Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.
If he doesn't go because of this small matter, how will he shoulder the responsibility of the entire Nine Provinces and inherit the destiny of the whole China?
Upon hearing this, Gu Anlei happily ran to Jiang Yuan's wardrobe, rummaged through it, and took out a black modern Hanfu. "Then you can wear this one. It won't make you look old-fashioned, and it will keep up with the trend!"
"Why are you dressed like this?" Jiang Yuan was a little reluctant to wear it.
"I heard that the main theme of the gala is ancient costumes. This is a time to showcase China's five thousand years of civilization. If we wear long pants and shirts, we'll look out of place. People will really think we're just here to freeload!" Gu Anlei stuffed the Hanfu into Jiang Yuan's arms.
"Weren't we just there to freeload?" Jiang Yuan was already questioning his existence. No wonder they say women only think emotionally; in just a few seconds, she had already lost sight of what was important.
"It's about getting a free meal, but not entirely about getting a free meal!"
After saying this shamelessly, Gu Anlei ran back to her apartment, calling out from afar, "I'm changing clothes, don't peek!"
